Hysterosalpingography is widely performed in assisted reproductive technology. We present a rare case of contrast medium retention which was incidentally found and mimicked a retained surgical instrument. A medical history of treatment for …

The clinical significance of coexistence of endometriosis (EM) in ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) has not yet been determined. The aim of the present study was to analyze the correlation of endometriosis with clinicopathological factors …

Frequent mutation of the ARID1A gene has been recently identified in ovarian clear-cell adenocarcinoma (CCA); however, the clinical significance of BAF250a expression encoded by the ARID1A gene remains to be determined. The aim of the prese…

Pulmonary endometriosis is a gynecological disorder in which endometrial tissue grows outside of the uterine cavity. Usually, the ectopic implants are located in the pelvis and manifest as dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, or infertility. …

Ovarian clear-cell adenocarcinoma (CCA) is known to be a type of cancer in humans with a high frequency of expression of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), and glucose transporter 1 (Glut1). In thi…

Experimental endometriosis in rats was induced by autotransplanting the uterine endometrium to the peritoneum. In all rats, endometrial implants developed into endometriotic tissues similar to those in humans about 2 weeks after transplanta…

The most common neoplasms of the peritoneum are malignant mesothelioma and serous papillary adenocarcinoma. Clear cell carcinoma (CCC) is mostly derived from the ovary and often associated with endometriosis. We describe the clinicopatholog…

Recent studies have shown that platelet-derived growth factors and their receptors are frequently co-expressed in ovarian cancers. Herein, we investigated the role of the platelet-derived growth factor pathway in the development of ovarian …

We occasionally encountered clear cell adenofibromatous (CCAF) components coexisting in the ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCA). To reveal the clinicopathologic significance of CCAF components in CCA, we classified 67 cases of surgicall…

We investigated the relationship between interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels and subset profiles of T lymphocyte (T-cell) and macrophage in peritoneal fluid (PF) with or without endometriosis (EM). IL-6 levels in PF with EM were significantly highe…
